Isn't it Ironic?

I was so excited and wanted to hurry and share my retreat adventure with everyone that I was horribly sloppy and made several mindless errors in my last blog. I do apologize and hope I am forgiven.
Several months ago a fellow blogger by the name of "March Ann" at Stitching Again, sent in my name to Cross Stitch Collections magazine. I was contacted to do a written interview and told that it would be in one of their future issues. Well last month another fellow blogger by the name of "Jo I can't think of a clever name" at Serendipitous Stitching contacted me and said she saw me in her magazine and offered to send me a copy all the way from across the pond.  Of course than I was contacted by the magazine and they sent me a copy of the page I was on from the magazine. I am so excited to be featured in an international cross stitch magazine here is the picture below.
Issue #268 November 2016 Cross Stitch Collection
Thank you again to March Ann and Jo!
Since my last post I finished this small piece from Little House Needleworks that I started in the car on the way to Harrisburg, PA for the retreat. It is called "Baked Goods".


After my finish I pulled out "Leilani" a freebie from the Mirabilia Minions Retreat 2016 ( free on the website). I added a few more beads and started to fill in the flowers in her hair.

Yesterday (which was Sunday) I went to a local library for a little stitching get together hosted by Stephanie Kyne (a local fellow floss tuber I met at the retreat) and I worked on my
"Game of Thrones Houses-Banners" from clouds factory.
As promised here are a few more pictures from the retreat.

I just discovered how to make a collage, now to makes some wonderful little xxs.

How special to be featured in a stitchy magazine! You've accomplished some great stitching, and it looks like you had fun learning how to make a collage. Just one question - was there a wedding at your retreat?!

How exciting, congratulations on being featured in the magazine!
Looks like a great time at the retreat, I'd like to make it someday. I would have joined you on Sunday, but our son had his last baseball game of the season and I kind of needed to be there!
I love your stitched pieces, Leilani looks so lovely.

The blogger of the month is always the first page I turn to because I know so many! This month it's my friend Heather. I think it's a lovely article.
Great in the GoT piece, I really like the banner and castles. I also enjoy Stephanie's blog and flosstube,I was watching her this afternoon!
